Twitter Says Goodbye to Derek Jeter

As the New York Yankees and Derek Jeter begin their last home stand of the 2014 season at Yankee Stadium I asked our Twitter followers and friends to give their goodbye’s to Jeter in 140 characters or less. Today as New York begins their last set of games in the Bronx for the year I share those responses with you today, enjoy. 

@GreedyStripes thank you captain for all the memories you gave us throughout the years. Couldn't ask for a better captain. #FarewellCaptain
